Officials told to ensure timely distribution of anti-parasitic medicine
Rangareddy: In anticipation of a possible outbreak of seasonal illnesses due to ongoing rains, the Rangareddy district administration has implemented measures to ensure the timely distribution of anti-parasitic medicine to prevent infections in children. District Collector C Narayana Reddy has directed officials to ensure all children and students between the ages of one and 19 receive Albendazole tablets. According to medical experts, Albendazole is an anthelminthic medication used to treat various infections caused by parasitic worms, such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and pinworms, which commonly develop in the stomach of children and young people. The medicine is also used to treat hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus tapeworm larvae, and neurocysticercosis, caused by the pork tapeworm (Taenia solium), which can lead to seizures. During a review meeting on de-worming measures on National Deworming Day, the district collector instructed all principals of government and private institutions, anganwadis, junior colleges, and welfare hostels to organise a special drive on 11 August to administer Albendazole tablets to students. The district collector asked officials to ensure that every student within the specified age group receives the tablets. 'This programme should be made as successful as it was last year. In addition, an awareness campaign should also be run to educate parents about parasitic infections and the medicine used to treat them,' the collector said. To dispel any concerns regarding the medicine, District Medical Officer Venkateswara Rao clarified that there are no side effects to children taking Albendazole tablets. He added that playing barefoot in mud and grass can allow worms to enter the body and cause issues such as stomach ache, anaemia, vomiting, weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Science teachers in the respective schools will be appointed as nodal officers to administer the medicine to the targeted children. District Additional Collector Chandra Reddy, DRO Sangeetha, DRDA Project Director Srilatha, DPO Suresh Mohan, DEO Sushinder Rao, and other district officials were in attendance.

Additionally, the Collector requested that the list of beneficiaries selected under the Rajiv Vikasam scheme be sent to the Collector's login. He stated that beneficiaries under the scheme should be granted at least Rs 1 lakh, to be released in June.

Talangana HC warns Rangareddy collector over contempt in pay scale case
HYDERABAD: Justice T Madhavi Devi of the Telangana High Court has pulled up Rangareddy District Collector C Narayana Reddy for failing to comply with a prior court order regarding the payment of minimum scale of pay to three office subordinates. The court has granted a final four-week deadline for compliance, warning that failure to act could invite punishment under the Contempt of Courts Act. The contempt proceedings stem from an earlier high court order dated April 2, 2024, directing the authorities to process the petitioners' claims for minimum pay scale in light of the Supreme Court's landmark judgment in State of Punjab and Others vs. Jagjit Singh and Others. The ruling mandates that temporary workers performing duties similar to those of permanent employees should receive equal pay for equal work. Despite clear directions, Narayana Reddy, who was then the Nalgonda district collector, passed a 'speaking order' on August 5, 2024, rejecting the petitioners' representations. He cited the petitioners' lack of employment in regular sanctioned posts as grounds for denial. In response, the petitioners' counsel argued that the collector's stand was a deliberate deviation from the high court's order. Justice Madhavi Devi observed that the IAS officer had intentionally overlooked the SC ruling and failed to apply the legal standards laid down in the April 2 order.
